Suddenly PC doesn't shut down on shutdown?

[Noozer]

Hey all!

Can anyone hazard a guess as to why my PC suddendly doesn't shut down when I
shut Win XP Pro down? It used to work fine but now the PC restarts when I
choose shutdown.

One other item I've noticed. My BIOS is set to turn the PC on from any PS/2
keypress, and this has been working, but if I force the PC to shut down by
holding the power button for 5 seconds I can't start the computer from the
keyboard.

This is a P4 system using an Asus P4C800-E Deluxe mainboard.

Any ideas?
